At Jesus’ Feet

“Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying unto Him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.” (John 11:32)

Briefly, Martha called Mary to Jesus and Mary quickly arose and went to Him, with the great host of mourning friends following her. As soon as she saw Jesus she fell down at His feet. Mary always seems to be at Jesus’ feet, in humility, to hear His teaching, to anoint His feet in honor and praise or to express love.

Gospel singer, Squire Parsons wrote a beautiful song entitled, “Look for me at Jesus Feet.”  The song suggests that if you can’t find me at first when you get to heaven don’t look by the gates of pearl, and don’t look on the street of gold, don’t look ‘neath the walls of jasper or among the many sights untold… look for me at Jesus’ feet.

Nothing is impossible with our Lord. But, just because He can do the impossible doesn’t mean that He will. What we want Him to do and when we want Him to do it may not be in His will and plan at all. He could have called twelve legions to save Him from death on the cross, but He could not have saved us if He had saved Himself.
